Regularization

Good day everyone. I have been working as an ESL teacher. Next week, i will be working at this company for a year. However, i was told by our manager that if i am able to pass their assessment then i will become a regular employee. However, if i failed then they are jut going to renew my contract for another three months till i pass it and become a regular employee. My question is, am i not already considered as a regular employee since i have rendered my service more than 6 mos which is actually the probationary period accdng to the phil law? The problem is, the contract that i signed didnt stipulate any about the regularization. The reason of my boss is that we, teachers, are just so lucky because normally a teacher will be regularized after three years. However, esl school is not a regular school right? In addition, not all of the teachers in our company are education graduates nor me. How come? Pls enlighten me. Thank you so much.

Post the text of your original contract. Were you hired as a probationary employee?
